PAGE TWO ROCKINGHAM POST-DISPATCH. RICHMOND COUNTY. N. 0. 4- The Woman's Forum MRS. LUCT F. RUSSEU. .mi (SwJ contribution, or I to ht. ) The Lyceum Course for the Coming Tear. Everybody who is interested in! providing clean entertainment for the youth of our community is asked to pay especial attention to the at tractions offered by the fiedmont Lyceum Bureau, who will present four numbers during the coming season. The artists engaged arc trained professionals who know how to please the popular tuste while presenting music and drama of the highest order. The prices have been placed within the reach of all, the season tickets are two dollars for the four evenings or one dollars for each entertainment, if enough sea son tickets can be sold to guarantee, the amount promised every child in the community will be admitted for one quarter 'the price of a '"movie." We have all heard the story of the man in one of New York's most fashionable restaurants who could not think of anything that he want ed but blackberry pie. There be was with the choicest morsels from the markets of the world at his com mand but his appetite refused fr consider anything but homely black berry pie! There is more in the story than a joke; if that man's taste bad been cultivated, if be had even known the names of the deli cacies to be enjoyed there do you suppose that he would not have had a lunch of which he would be still telling his grand children? Some years ago an American was travel ing in England and was put into a railway carriage with a gentleman with whom he fell into conversation about their professions. The Ameri can was a ranchman with wealth untold in cattle and lands; the Eng lishman was a writer, he said, and pulled a manuscript out of his pocket and read to the American what he described as "some thing about a branch." Afterwards he learned that he had spent half a day with Lord Alfred Tennyson and had had the rare privilege of hear ing the immortal poem "The Brook" read by the distinguished author. But he did not have sense enough to know the high honor conferred upon him. Our opportunities for hearing gopd things in Rockingham are not very good; some times a good thing is offered and fails to find apprecia tion; let us see to it that our young people do not make similar mis takes; let us train their tastes until Ihpy will honestly prefer good mu sic and good plays to anything like "The Widow's Revenge," or "Forty Buckets of Blood. Why shouhln t they know thaf there are more good things than blackberry pie? The first number will be present ed on December 28th, when every body wants "some where to go." It consists of "The Princess Nadonis Indians four full blooded Indians who will give nativs songs and reci tations in native costumes. Princess Nadonis has been abroad several Jimes and has Jieen received by the Crowned Heads who would not no tice you or me; she is of the tribe of the Ojibways and composes her own' songs and poems. She is ac companied by Chief Konaka White Eagle of the Winnebago tribe, who wears the war feathers of his an cestors worn by Chief Plenty Horse who wi.s killed in the Custer fight. Other Numbers will be announced just before their appearance so that none may forget. A canvas will soon be made to place tickets and it is to be hoped that the public will re spond generously to this effort of the Woman's Club. Season tickets ' 2.00, each performance $1.00, all children 25 cents. L. P. R.

Durham, Dec. 8. There are base ball scouts and boy scouts, but the library scout is a new type develop ed at Trinity college. When Dr. J. S. Bessett, now nationally known historian, was connected with the department of history at Trinity college he started a work of ferret ing out valuable old libraies and securing them for the Trinity libra ry. Dr. W. K. Boyd, recently elect ed head of the State Historical So ciety, carried the work a step farth er. Now that Dr. Bold is at Penn sylvania University on leave of ab sence for a year to do research work, Dr. R. G. Adams has succeeded to the library reclamation project which Trinity professors have set for themselves. More than 5,5000 vol umes have been secured from three sources thus far in the year. The latest collection secured is the private library of the late Al beit M. Shipp, former president of Wofford college and professor at the University of North Carolina and Vanderbilt University. Through the instrumentality of Dr. A. M. Webb, Miss Susie V. Shipp, of Durham, daughter of Dr. Shipp, donated the libarary to Trinity. The library, numbering 2,000 vol umes, for years has remained unus ed in an upper floor of Dr. Shipp's planation mansion, just outside of Cheraw, S. C. The monetary value of the library would run into thousands of dol lars. There are rare files of Eng lish and American literary periodi cats and standard works on history and Biblical literature, making a prized addition to these sections of the Trinity library. Removing the farmihi Cause ot ?octr ' R.rWF.e Thurday Health Talk44 By Mary Loo Miller, d. c. n. c. As the gravy thickens, as pancakes grow in pop ularity, and the holidays near, there is a tendency among those who suffer from liver and kidney weakness to experience backache and its brother lumbago. Failure of the kidneys ann bowels to throw off the waste of heavier foods developes the soreness as the blood absorbes the waste. Chiropractic spinal ad justments get at and re move the cause of this sluggishness'and recovery comes about naturally. Many who are learning the ail around efficiency of chiropractic are turn ing in increasing numbers to the aid it offers. Backtclie is Gone. ''Before taking chiro ropractic spinal adjust ments I was bothered with my back and kid neys and could not sleep after two or three o'clock in' the morning, but after two or three adjustments I could, sleep till I got np. The adjustments were continued and now the backache is gone for good. At the same time I was cured of piles."-- Marion Morgan, Chiropractic Re-., search Bureau Statement No. 1237H.
